Of peculiar disposition, and was a sort
of censor of the press. He never gave
instructions beforehand as regards
what would please or displease him. but,
shortly after the paper was published,
should anything IN il offend him, he

he would excuse the broadcast sort of
statement. frequently he would become
enraged Mt the merest triile. He did
not like humor, aud was not an admirer
of the pathetic. One time we wrote a
joke about fellow whose oxen ran
away, having scented water while
thirsty. and tumbled of bluff. The
item was very laughable. but MIR. Beas-

Word Pictures.

No attribute which the poet pos
sesses is of more utility to him in Sc
curing permanent audience. than the
ability to make his writings possess Il
vague and mystic undcrcurrent. Beau
tiful and striking figures catch the fan

on his mind. when. perhaps, if the
same thoughts were given in the plain
setting of common language, they
would have but transitory dwelling

And jucund Day stands tip toe ON
The misty mountain top,
is familiar example.
Some one has said that the writings
of Thomas Moore do not possess a sin
gle really fine simle. On the other
hand the writings of William Collins
abound in figures. Yet Moore, is per-
haps, the more popular poet of the two;
neither of them possess the subtle beauty
that pervadeS the poetry of Edgar A.
Poe. So It is inferred that mere iigurat We

which may be given by combination
of simple words. and Which causes one
to look beyond the poetry and into the
authors heart. In this myster Gus

DHATH OF CAPT. COOK.

The Navigator Held To Be God I'm
I'll Pierced by n Spear.
Perhaps the most interesting spot to
Americans and Europeans, is the vii
lage of Kaawaloa, at which place the IA
nous English navigator. Capt Cook.
was murdered by natives, who, 1t has
been eroneously stated consumed
his body for food. one chief. in
particular, reserving his heart rs his
especial share. The story was disproved
by the statement of one of the mission
aries. who rendered to our party an ac-
count of the affair, and which is sub
stantially as follows:
Capt. James Cook, attached to the
royal navy, accidentally called ut the
Hawaiian island, where he remained
fer some time bartering and trading
with the natives. Upon one occasion
boat belonging to Cooks vessel was
either accidentally sent adrift or was
stolen by the natives, This loss so in
censed the English captain that he de-
termincd to punish the Hawiians for
their alledged dishonesty. The simple
minded natives. to whom the ght of n
white man was novelty, had gradual
IL become impressed with an idea that
Cook was possessed of supernatural
powers, and eventually he became look
cd upon as being the god Sono, and
was paid divine honor in consequence.
Cook conceived the idea of ent cling
on board his vessel q number of mar
ried women. whom he designed to hold
as hostages until after the return of his
property. A few people, however, at
tribute to this action more sinister
motive. BE that as it may, certain it is
that the husbands of the women living
on board ship and under Cooks control
became angry at being separated from
their wives. The chiefs became fur.
ther incensed ut the wanton murder of
one of their number, who was shot
while approaching the English vessel in
Il canoe.
Finally Cook determined to entice on
board the vessel Queen Kealakekun
and her husband. King Kalamiopuu.
A boat. with the national colors of
England flying from the stern sheets
approached the shore, containing Cook,
who was in full dress uniform, and
who was received upon his landing by
the royal family and an assemblage OF
chiefs and other natives. After con-
siderable paaver the king and queen
both consented to visit the English ship.
As the former was about to enter the
boat an old warrior exclaimed:
Il do not believe he is god. Twill
prick him with spear. II be cries
out | shall know he Is not. ="
He thereupon struck Cook in the
back, who. with a yell of terror, fell to
the ground. Another thrust from the
warrior plainly evnced to tho people
that Cook was but mortal. After rude
ly dssecting the dead body as was the
national custom, the teeth were knocked
out; and the heart removed and placed
N the fork of tree TO dry. A native
